Thanks for these, old race photos are great & more so if it's real-world motorsport like this.
So was there a rule about not altering the bulkhead to move the engine further back those days? If so I like the way you get round it on the Mini:
leave the bulkhead alone & put the engine behind it!! I think No1 spark plug cant be further back than the front axle line now, & Minis are
banned from the front engine RWD class now.

Now you've made me feel old!
I remember talking to you just after you built your mini.
You won't remember me but this was my first outing at Hunmanby.

Absolute class those pics. Way before my time on the grass, things have changed a bit since then....not just the hairstyles!! Have you checked out Ian
Frasers excellent retrograsser website, I'm sure he'd love to include some of your pics he's always on the lookout for new stuff.
Do you still keep in touch with the grassin scene at all ?
